The Positive Effects Of the Seven Chakras
Chakras are the foci within our bodies where the energy which makes up our life force is generated. Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel; a good representation of the spherical energy field the word refers to.
There are six Chakras which are located along the spine and a seventh one above these, removed from the physical element of your body.
While we understand these Chakras as energy, you need to understand that these seven Chakras influence your body.
